resulting in death or severe injury.
CAUTION
Indicates that incorrect handling may cause hazardous conditions,
resulting in minor or moderate injury or property damage.
Under some circumstances, failure to observe the precautions given under "
CAUTION" may lead to
serious consequences.
Observe the precautions of both levels because they are important for personal and system safety.
Make sure that the end users read this manual and then keep the manual in a safe place for future
reference.
[Design Precautions]
WARNING
● Configure safety circuits external to the programmable controller to ensure that the entire system
operates safely even when a fault occurs in the external power supply or the programmable
controller. Failure to do so may result in an accident due to an incorrect output or malfunction.
(1) Emergency stop circuits, protection circuits, and protective interlock circuits for conflicting
operations (such as forward/reverse rotations or upper/lower limit positioning) must be
configured external to the programmable controller.
(2) Machine OPR (Original Point Return) of the positioning function is controlled by two kinds of
data: an OPR direction and an OPR speed. Deceleration starts when the near-point watchdog
signal turns on. If an incorrect OPR direction is set, motion control may continue without
deceleration. To prevent machine damage caused by this, configure an interlock circuit external
to the programmable controller.
(3) When the CPU module detects an error during control by the positioning function, the motion
slows down and stops.

(4) When the programmable controller detects an abnormal condition, it stops the operation and all
outputs are:
• Turned off if the overcurrent or overvoltage protection of the power supply module is activated.
• Held or turned off according to the parameter setting if the self-diagnostic function of the CPU
module detects an error such as a watchdog timer error.
Also, all outputs may be turned on if an error occurs in a part, such as an I/O control part,
where the CPU module cannot detect any error. To ensure safety operation in such a case,
provide a safety mechanism or a fail-safe circuit external to the programmable controller. For a
fail-safe circuit example, refer to "General Safety Requirements" in the MELSEC-L CPU
Module User's Manual (Hardware Design, Maintenance and Inspection).
(5) Outputs may remain on or off due to a failure of a component such as a transistor in an output
circuit. Configure an external circuit for monitoring output signals that could cause a serious
accident.
In an output circuit, when a load current exceeding the rated current or an overcurrent caused by a
load short-circuit flows for a long time, it may cause smoke and fire. To prevent this, configure an
external safety circuit, such as a fuse.
Configure a circuit so that the programmable controller is turned on first and then the external power
supply. If the external power supply is turned on first, an accident may occur due to an incorrect
output or malfunction.
Configure a circuit so that the external power supply is turned off first and then the programmable
controller. If the programmable controller is turned off first, an accident may occur due to an incorrect
output or malfunction.
For the operating status of each station after a communication failure, refer to relevant manuals for
each network. Incorrect output or malfunction due to a communication failure may result in an
accident.
When changing data from a peripheral device connected to the CPU module to the running
programmable controller, configure an interlock circuit in the program to ensure that the entire
system will always operate safely. For other controls to a running programmable controller (such as
program modification or operating status change), read relevant manuals carefully and ensure the
safety before the operation. Especially, in the case of a control from an external device to a remote
programmable controller, immediate action cannot be taken for a problem on the programmable
controller due to a communication failure. To prevent this, configure an interlock circuit in the
program, and determine corrective actions to be taken between the external device and CPU
module in case of a communication failure.
An absolute position restoration by the positioning function may turn off the servo-on signal (servo
off) for approximately 20ms, and the motor may run unexpectedly. If this causes a problem, provide
an electromagnetic brake to lock the motor during absolute position restoration.
[Design Precautions]
CAUTION
● Do not install the control lines or communication cables together with the main circuit lines or power
cables. Keep a distance of 100mm or more between them. Failure to do so may result in malfunction
due to noise.
● During control of an inductive load such as a lamp, heater, or solenoid valve, a large current
(approximately ten times greater than normal) may flow when the output is turned from off to on.
Therefore, use a module that has a sufficient current rating.
● After the CPU module is powered on or is reset, the time taken to enter the RUN status varies
depending on the system configuration, parameter settings, and/or program size.
Design circuits so that the entire system will always operate safely, regardless of the time.
[Installation Precautions]
WARNING
● Shut off the external power supply (all phases) used in the system before mounting or removing a
module. Failure to do so may result in electric shock or cause the module to fail or malfunction.
3
[Installation Precautions]
CAUTION
● Use the programmable controller in an environment that meets the general specifications in the
MELSEC-L CPU Module User's Manual (Hardware Design, Maintenance and Inspection). Failure to
do so may result in electric shock, fire, malfunction, or damage to or deterioration of the product.
● To interconnect modules, engage the respective connectors and securely lock the module joint
levers until they click. Incorrect interconnection may cause malfunction, failure, or drop of the
module.
● Do not directly touch any conductive parts and electronic components of the module. Doing so can
cause malfunction or failure of the module.
● Securely connect an extension cable to the connectors of a branch module and an extension
module. After connections, check that the cable is inserted completely. Poor contact may cause
malfunction.
● When using an SD memory card, fully insert it into the SD memory card slot. Check that it is inserted
completely. Poor contact may cause malfunction.
● Do not directly touch any conductive parts and electronic components of the module or SD memory
card. Doing so can cause malfunction or failure of the module.
[Wiring Precautions]
WARNING
● Shut off the external power supply (all phases) used in the system before wiring. Failure to do so
may result in electric shock or cause the module to fail or malfunction.
● After installation and wiring, attach the included terminal cover to the module before turning it on for
operation. Failure to do so may result in electric shock.
4
[Wiring Precautions]
CAUTION
● Individually ground the FG and LG terminals of the programmable controller with a ground
resistance of 100 or less. Failure to do so may result in electric shock or malfunction.
● Use applicable solderless terminals and tighten them within the specified torque range. If any spade
solderless terminal is used, it may be disconnected when a terminal block screw comes loose,
resulting in failure.
● Check the rated voltage and terminal layout before wiring to the module, and connect the cables
correctly. Connecting a power supply with a different voltage rating or incorrect wiring may cause a
fire or failure.
● Connectors for external devices must be crimped or pressed with the tool specified by the
manufacturer, or must be correctly soldered. Incomplete connections may cause short circuit, fire, or
malfunction.
● Securely connect the connector to the module.
● Do not install the control lines or communication cables together with the main circuit lines or power
cables. Failure to do so may result in malfunction due to noise.
● Place the cables in a duct or clamp them. If not, dangling cable may swing or inadvertently be pulled,
resulting in damage to the module or cables or malfunction due to poor contact.
● Check the interface type and correctly connect the cable.
Incorrect wiring (connecting the cable to an incorrect interface) may cause failure of the module and
external device.
● Tighten the terminal block screw within the specified torque range. Undertightening can cause short
circuit, fire, or malfunction. Overtightening can damage the screw and/or module, resulting in drop,
short circuit, fire, or malfunction.
● When disconnecting the cable from the module, do not pull the cable by the cable part. For the cable
with connector, hold the connector part of the cable. For the cable connected to the terminal block,
loosen the terminal screw. Pulling the cable connected to the module may result in malfunction or
damage to the module or cable.
● Prevent foreign matter such as dust or wire chips from entering the module. Such foreign matter can
cause a fire, failure, or malfunction.
● A protective film is attached to the top of the module to prevent foreign matter, such as wire chips,
from entering the module during wiring. Do not remove the film during wiring. Remove it for heat
dissipation before system operation.
● To use the high-speed counter function, ground the shield cable on the encoder side (relay box).
Always ground the FG and LG terminals to the protective ground conductor. Failure to do so may
cause malfunction.
● Mitsubishi programmable controllers must be installed in control panels. Connect the main power
supply to the power supply module in the control panel through a relay terminal block.
Wiring and replacement of a power supply module must be performed by qualified maintenance
personnel with knowledge of protection against electric shock. For wiring methods, refer to the
MELSEC-L CPU Module User's Manual (Hardware Design, Maintenance and Inspection).

CHAPTER 1
OVERVIEW
The following describes the built-in Ethernet function of the CPU module.
(1) Connection of programming tools and GOTs (
Page 22, CHAPTER 3)
• By using a hub, the CPU module can be connected to multiple programming tools and GOTs.
Up to 16 external devices can be connected to a single CPU module at the same time.
• When CPU modules and a programming tool are connected to the same hub, these CPU modules can be
searched from the programming tool. Displayed search results include IP addresses so that any of them can
be specified.
• MELSOFT connection allows access through routers in an environment such as a corporate LAN.
(2) Direct connection to a programming tool (simple connection)
(
Page 31, CHAPTER 4)
The CPU module can be directly connected to a programming tool with a single Ethernet cable only, without using
a hub (simple connection).
For direct connection, the IP address and host name need not be specified in the transfer setup.
(3) MC protocol communication (
Page 34, CHAPTER 5)
From an external device such as a personal computer or HMI, device data of the CPU module can be read or
written, and this allows CPU module operation monitoring, data analysis, and production control.
(4) Socket communication function (
Page 42, CHAPTER 6)
By using instructions dedicated to socket communication, any data can be transferred from and to the external
devices connected through Ethernet using TCP or UDP.
(5) Time setting function (SNTP client) (
Page 91, CHAPTER 7)
• Automatic time setting of the CPU module can reduce the maintenance cost for time setting.
• By sharing the same clock data among CPU modules connected to Ethernet via their built-in Ethernet ports,
the order of errors between processes can be traced, facilitating problem solving.
• Since the automatic time setting is enabled upon power-on of the CPU module, operations can be started
based on accurate clock data.
(6) File transfer function (FTP) (
Page 94, CHAPTER 8)
Each of the files stored in the CPU module can be read or written from the interfacing device with the FTP client
function, and a large amount of data can be easily transferred.
(7) Remote password (
Page 114, CHAPTER 9)
Remote password setting can prevent unauthorized access from the outside and enhance the security of the
system.
(8) Simple PLC communication function (
Page 121, CHAPTER 10)
Device data can be communicated between the CPU modules connected with Ethernet cable without
programming.
18
CHAPTER 1 OVERVIEW
(9) IP packet transfer function (
1
Page 138, CHAPTER 11)
Communications can be performed with a device which supports the following IP addresses, which have been
specified via a CC-Link IE Field Network module, using a protocol such as the FTP or HTTP via a built-in Ethernet
port from an Ethernet device such as a personal computer.
• External devices on CC-Link IE Field Network
• External devices on the Ethernet network, which are connected through the built-in Ethernet ports

Ethernet cable of category 3 or higher (STP/UTP cable)*3
100BASE-TX
Ethernet cable of category 5 or higher (STP cable)
Straight cables can be used.
When the CPU module is directly connected to GOT with Ethernet cable, a cross cable of Category 5e or lower can also
be used.
This number applies when a repeater hub is used.
When using a switching hub, check the number of cascaded stages with the manufacturer of the hub to be used.
Use of STP cables is recommended in an environment with noise.
Hubs with 10BASE-T or 100BASE-TX ports*4 can be used.
Up to 16 external devices can access one CPU module at the same time.
*4
The ports must comply with the IEEE802.3 10BASE-T or IEEE802.3 100BASE-TX standards.
● When connected to a hub, the CPU module determines the cable used (10BASE-T or 100BASE-TX) and the
communication mode (full-duplex or half-duplex) according to the hub.
Set the hub into the half-duplex mode if the hub that does not have the auto-negotiation function.
● The operation of commercial devices used for the following applications is not guaranteed. Check the operation before
using the module.
• Internet (general public line)
(Internet-access service offered by an Internet service provider or a telecommunications carrier)
• Firewall device(s)
• Broadband router(s)
• Wireless LAN
● If Ethernet communication is performed with "Specify service process execution counts" selected for "Service processing
setting" in the PLC system tab of PLC parameter, a scan time increases by time for service processing. (approximately
500ms)
To reduce it to 500ms or less, select an item other than "Specify service process execution counts".
(Example: Select "Specify service process time" and then enter a time value.)
● If broadcast storm occurs in the network, scan time may be increased.
20
CHAPTER 2 COMMUNICATION SPECIFICATIONS
Remark
TCP and UDP are defined as follows:
• TCP (Transmission Control Protocol)
In communications among programmable controllers and networked devices, this protocol establishes a
connection between port numbers of the two devices to perform reliable data communications.
• UDP (User Datagram Protocol)
This is a connectionless protocol and thereby its speed is faster than that of TCP. However, the reliability in data
communications is low. (Data may be lost or not be received in correct order.) Note that simultaneous broadcast is
available.
Select an appropriate protocol, considering the specifications of the external device and the characteristics of the above
protocols.

Searching CPU Modules on the Network
In a configuration using a hub, clicking
in the "PLC side I/F Detailed Setting of PLC
Module" dialog box will start searching for CPU modules connected to the hub where the programming tool is also
connected, and display a list of them.
3
Clicking this button will
automatically enter the
IP address of the CPU
module.
• CPU modules connected via a router cannot be searched.
• Some CPU modules connected via wireless LAN may not be found since Ethernet communication may not
be stable due to packet loss.
• If multiple CPU modules with the same IP address are found in the list, check the IP address parameters for
the CPU modules. Starting communication with the IP address duplicated will cause a communication error.
• Appropriate CPU modules may not be found if a heavy load for service processing is applied.
Increase the response waiting time value in the "Find CPU (Built-in Ethernet port)" dialog box, or the service
processing time value in the Service processing setting tab of PLC parameter.
• By selecting the option shown below in the Built-in Ethernet port tab of PLC parameter, the Find CPU
function can be disabled and the system does not respond to a search request on the network.

Precautions
(1) IP address duplication
Check that the IP address is not duplicated when configuring a network or connecting a new device to a network.
If the IP address is duplicated, a device may communicate with the wrong device.
Check for the IP address duplication in the following ways.
3
• Check for the IP address duplication with the find CPU function.
• Disconnect the device from the line and send ping to the IP address of the disconnected device.
Having a response means the IP address duplication.
(2) KeepAlive check
When the protocol is set to TCP, KeepAlive check is performed. (Checking for a response to a KeepAlive ACK
message)
An alive check message is sent five seconds after reception of the last message from the connected device to
check if the device returns a response or not. If no response is received, the alive check message will be resent at
intervals of five seconds. When no response is received for 45 seconds, the connected device is regarded as
non-existent and the connection is disconnected. If the connected device does not support the TCP KeepAlive
function, the connection may be disconnected.
(3) Connections exceeding the setting
Do not exceed the number of connections set for the open settings parameters. Establishing too many TCP
connections from a personal computer may cause the following states, depending on the application.
• Time before timeout error detection is increased.
• An unexpected timeout error occurs in any of the communicating devices.
If no ACK response is returned from the other end of a TCP connection, the ACK will be resent six times, starting
in 0.3 seconds after the first transmission, and then 0.6, 1.2, 2.4, 4.8, and 9.6 seconds. When no TCP ACK
response is returned within 19.2 seconds after the last retransmission, the device is regarded as faulty and the
connection is disconnected. (As a result, the connection is disconnected in total of 38.1 seconds.)
29
3.5 Precautions
(4) Retransmission on TCP connection
(5) MELSOFT connection over UDP
For UDP communications with multiple MELSOFT devices, set the same number of connections as that of the
connected MELSOFT devices on the screen displayed from PLC parameter.
CPU module
Ethernet
Hub
MELSOFT device
MELSOFT device
MELSOFT device
Set the same number
of protocols as that of
MELSOFT devices.
When all MELSOFT devices start communicating at the same time, devices may fail to communicate because of the
congestion of communications. In such a case, schedule the timing for when each device starts communicating so that the
communication congestion will not occur. When using GOTs, for example, set different rise time and time-out values in the
GOTs.
(6) Sampling trace
When the function has been executed using the programming tool via a built-in Ethernet port, stop the function
before powering off or resetting the CPU module.
(7) Remote STOP or remote PAUSE
When remote STOP or remote PAUSE has been executed using the programming tool via a built-in Ethernet port,
perform the following operations before powering off or resetting the CPU module.
• Remote RUN
• Remote RESET

Precautions
(1) Number of devices
Only the external devices whose open system is set to "MC Protocol" can be connected concurrently using MC
protocol.

button
(2) Data communication frame
The QnA-compatible 3E frames only are applicable to CPU modules.
5
(3) Access range
• Only the connected CPU module can be accessed. Accessing another module will cause an error.
• Accessing another station on a network such as CC-Link is not allowed via the connected CPU module.
(4) When UDP is selected for Protocol
• If a new request message is sent to a UDP port after the previous request message is sent to the same port
and before no response is returned, the new request message will be discarded.
• Setting the same host station port number for multiple UDP connections is regarded as one setting. For
communication with multiple devices using the same host station port number, select TCP.
(5) File access during MC communication
this, processing of the MC protocol function may be delayed if a file is accessed by FTP or a programming tool
during use of the MC protocol function.
When accessing a file while response time monitoring is performed on the connected device with the MC protocol
function, add the time required for file access to the monitoring time.

5.3 Precautions
The CPU module will perform file access processing prior to Ethernet communication processing. Because of

Error handling
For Ethernet communication, TCP socket functions are used inside personal computers.
The functions do not have boundary concept. Therefore, if the sender sent data by calling the "send" function once, the
receiver needs to call the "recv" function once or more times to read out the data. ("send" does not correspond to "recv" on
the one-to-one basis.)
For this reason, the processing shown above is always required on the program of the receiving device.
Note that, if the "recv" function is used in blocking mode, data may be read by calling the function once.

6.1
Communication Using TCP
TCP (Transmission Control Protocol) establishes a connection to a device with a port number, and performs reliable
data communications.
To perform socket communication using TCP, confirm the following in advance.
• IP address and port number of the target device
• IP address and port number of the CPU module
• Which side will open a connection, the target device or CPU module?
(Active open or Passive open)
(1) TCP connection
There are two types of open operation for TCP connection: Active open and Passive open.
Firstly, the device waiting for a TCP connection performs a Passive open at the specified port.
The other device performs an Active open by specifying the port number of the device which is waiting in Passive
open state.
Through the above process, a TCP connection is established and communication is available.
(a) Active open
Active open is a TCP connection method, which actively opens a connection to the device that is passively
waiting for a TCP connection.
(b) Passive open
The following two types of Passive open methods are available for TCP connection.
TCP connection
Description
method
Allows a connection regardless of the IP address and port number of the connected device.
Unpassive
(The IP address and port number of the device connected can be acquired using the
SP.SOCCINF instruction.)
Allows a connection to the device only when the specified IP address and port number are met.
Fullpassive
A connection made by another device that does not have the specified IP address and port
number is automatically disconnected before communication.
Remark
The expressions of Active and Passive opens may vary according to the device.
• Active open: TCP connection initiating device, client, connecting side, etc.
• Passive open: TCP connection waiting device, server, listening side, etc.

• When a device establishes a connection by Passive open, the IP address and port number of the
connected device can be acquired using the SP.SOCCINF instruction.
For the SP.SOCCINF instruction, refer to:
Page 81, Section 6.4.6
• On TCP, one connection is established with one target device.
To communicate with multiple devices from one port number, prepare the same number of connections as
that of the target devices.
A connection that exceeds the preset number of connections will be disconnected immediately.
• Do not accept a connection from a device until the CPU module is placed in the wait-for-open state.
If a TCP connection request is received before entering the wait-for-open state after completion of CPU
startup, the request will be recognized as an error, and a forced close message for the connection will be
returned to the interfacing device.
In this case, wait until the CPU state is changed to the wait-for-open state and then retry the connection
from the device.
• Do not execute the SP.SOCCLOSE instruction in a program.
Doing so will disable data transfer since the Open completion signal and Open request signal of the
corresponding connection turn off for close processing.
To reopen a closed connection, execute the SP.SOCOPEN instruction.
For the SP.SOCOPEN instruction, refer to:

CHAPTER 6 SOCKET COMMUNICATION FUNCTION
(3) Precautions
(a) Use of UDP
Data may be lost, or may arrive out of order.
Consider the application of TCP if any problem is expected.
(b) Sending and receiving data
Data sending process may be terminated even if the communication line between the CPU module and target
device is not connected due to a reason such as cable disconnection.
To avoid this, it is recommended to provide communication procedures at the user’s discretion.
(c) Changing the target
Use the SP.SOCCSET instruction to change the target device.
For the SP.SOCCSET instruction, refer to:
Page 84, Section 6.4.7
(d) Open completion signal and Open request signal
Once UDP is selected for a connection, the Open completion signal and Open request signal of the connection
6
are always on.
(e) SP.SOCCLOSE instruction
Do not execute the SP.SOCCLOSE instruction in the program.
Doing so will disable data transfer since the Open completion signal and Open request signal of the
corresponding connection turn off for close processing.
To reopen the closed connection, execute the SP.SOCOPEN instruction.
For the SP.SOCOPEN instruction, refer to:
Page 62, Section 6.4.1
With simultaneous broadcast, data can be sent to the devices which are connected to the same hub of the
CPU module, and to those connected to the cascaded hub(s).
Data cannot be received from the devices connected through routers.
(g) Receiving data using simultaneous broadcast
When data are received through a connection of simultaneous broadcast, the IP address and port number of
the sender can be acquired by the SP.SOCCINF instruction.
For the SP.SOCCINF instruction, refer to:
Page 81, Section 6.4.6
(h) Connection of simultaneous broadcast
Data cannot be sent when FFFFH is specified for the port number of the transmission target.
To send data, specify a value other than FFFFH.
57
6.2 Communication Using UDP
(f) Simultaneous broadcast targets
(i) Destination IP address of the message transferred by simultaneous broadcast
Use a CPU module IP address of which all the bits corresponding to the host address are on.
When the subnet musk pattern is specified, apply the pattern before using the above mentioned IP address.

CHAPTER 6 SOCKET COMMUNICATION FUNCTION
6.3
Precautions for the Socket Communication Function
This section provides other precautions for the socket communication function.
(1) Port number
Host station port number, 0001H to 03FFH, are assigned for reserved port numbers (WELL KNOWN PORT
NUMBERS) and F000H to FFFEH are for other communication functions. Therefore, using 0400H to 1387H and
1392H to EFFFH is recommended.
Do not specify 1388H to 1391H because these ports are used by the system. (
Page 141, Appendix 2)
Do not specify 0014H and 0015H for the socket communication function when using the FTP function.
Do not specify 007BH for the socket communication function when using the time setting function (SNTP).
Do not specify F000H to FFFEH for the socket communication function when using the data logging file transfer
function.
6
(2) Reading out received data
Read out received data when the Receive state signal (SD1286) has turned on.
Communication via the built-in Ethernet port may be affected if a considerable amount of received data have not
been read out for a long time.
(3) Conditions for closing
In TCP communications, even if no close request is sent from the connected device, the Open completion signal
will turn off to close the connection in the following cases.
• Alive check is timed out.
(4) Elements for TCP connection
The following four elements control TCP connections, and only one connection can be established with a unique
setting for these elements. To use multiple TCP connections at the same time, at least one of the four elements
must be different.
• IP address of the CPU module
• Port number of the CPU module
• IP address of the target device
• Port number of the target device
(5) Reestablishment of the same connection
Allow eight seconds or more before reestablishing a connection of the same target IP address, the same host
station port number, and the same target port number after closing it.
If the reestablishment is time-critical, it is recommended to change the host station port number on the Active
open side.
(6) Precautions for file access during communication
The CPU module will perform file access processing prior to Ethernet communication processing. Because of
this, processing of the socket communication function may be delayed if a file is accessed by FTP or a
programming tool during the processing.
When accessing a file while response time monitoring is performed on the connected device with the socket
communication function, add the time required for file access to the monitoring time.
59
6.3 Precautions for the Socket Communication Function
• Forced close is received from the connected device.
(7) Checking receive data length
Since no delimiter is provided for TCP communication data, on the receiving end, separate data blocks that are
sent continuously may be combined, or data sent all at once may be segmented.
The receive data length must be confirmed on the receiving side as necessary.
When data are received on the CPU side and the data length is determined, the fixed-length mode is
recommended.
When receiving data on the target device side, confirm the receive data length as shown below.
Receive processing on the other device side
Received message, receive processing
NO
Is TCP connection open?
YES
Receive the rest of the message.
Received data within
the time specified by the monitoring
timer value?

Check the received data size.
NO
Sufficient receive data size?
YES

End
Error handling
(8) If an error (error code: 41A0H) has occurred
In TCP communications, if an error (error code: 41A0H) occurs at the sender, part of send data may have been
sent. Therefore, if the data are sent again after the error (error code: 41A0H), close the connection to discard the
data. Then open a connection again, and send the data again.

(b) TCP fixed-length receive mode
When data are received, they are stored in the Socket communication receive data area, and SD1286
(Receive state signal) turns on. However, if the size of the data does not reach the specified receive data size,
SD1286 does not turn on.
Data reception is repeated and once the data size reaches to the specified size, SD1286 turns on.
If data are received exceeding the specified receive data size, the excess data are read out the next time.
Ex. The receive data size is set to 300 bytes, and 200-byte data are consecutively received.
Data cannot be read out because
the receive data size is not reached.

● Effective use of devices
Devices can be effectively used by setting the receive data size to less than 1024 words while the default size of the
receive data storing devices for the SP.SOCRCV and S.SOCRCVS instructions is 1024 words.
● Prevention of receive data fragmentation
Data from the connected device may be fragmented depending on the line type. To prevent this, the receive data size can
be specified in the TCP fixed-length receive mode.
● Prevention of receive data binding
Separately sent data may be combined depending on the interfacing device due to a delay in receive processing of the
program.
To prevent this, the receive data size can be specified in the TCP fixed-length receive mode.

Remark
The set values will take effect at the following timing of the SP.SOCRMODE instruction execution.
• Before opening: Values take effect after opening a connection.
• When there are data in the Socket communication receive data area:
Values take effect after execution of the SP.SOCRCV or S.SOCRCVS instruction once after the S.SOCRMODE
instruction.
• When there is no data in the Socket communication receive data area:
Values take effect after the SP.SOCRMODE instruction is executed.

exceeds the device point range.
(Error code: 4101)
• Invalid device is specified.
(Error code: 4004)
Remark
Even when the Receive state signal is not on in the TCP fixed-length receive mode, the data received at the point can be
read out with the SP.SOCRDATA instruction. This allows you to check whether the data sent from the connected device is
adequate in size.
(5) Program example
When M4000 is turned on, connection No.1 is set to the TCP fixed-length receive mode and the receive data size
is set to 256 bytes.
After execution of the instruction and when the receive data size of connection No.1 reaches 256 bytes, the
Receive state signal is turned on.

Description
● Data of the receive data length can be read out by setting the number of read data to one word.
This allows change of the device storing receive data, upon execution of the SP.SOCRCV or S.SOCRCVS instruction.
● In the following order, based on the data currently received, the size of the data received the next time can be specified.
1. Check the data currently received using the S(P).SOCRDATA instruction.
2. Specify the size of the data to be received the next time using the SP.SOCRMODE instruction.
3. Read out the data currently received using the SP.SOCRCV or S.SOCRCVS instruction.
Remark
● Even if the S(P).SOCRDATA instruction is executed, the next receive data will not be stored in the Socket communication
receive data area because the area is not cleared and the Receive state signal does not change.
● To update the receive data, read out the data using the SP.SOCRCV or S.SOCRCVS instruction.
(4) Error
A detection of an operation error turns on the Error flag (SM0) and a corresponding error code is stored in SD0

8.4 FTP Commands
8.4.3 Details of FTP commands
111
8.5
Precautions
(1) FTP clients
• Some FTP clients may have FTP command specifications different from those described in this manual. In
such a case, check the functions and operation methods, referring to the manuals for the FTP client.
• An FTP operation from Microsoft® Internet Explorer is not allowed. If it is attempted, an error will occur in
Internet Explorer.
(2) CPU module side processing
• Files only in the drives of the host station CPU module can be accessed.
• During file access, do not power off the CPU module, reset the CPU module, or remove an SD memory card.
Doing so may corrupt the file. Stop accessing to an SD memory card, and then power off the CPU module,
reset the CPU module, or remove an SD memory card. All of SD memory card operations can be disabled
by SM606 (SD memory card forced disable instruction). For the forced disablement of SD card, refer to the
following.
MELSEC-L CPU Module User's Manual (Hardware Design, Maintenance and Inspection)
• During file access, do not operate the file from a peripheral such as a programming tool. (Also do not
perform online operations such as online change, scam time measurement, registration of the step number
set for a monitoring condition). If the file is operated during operation of the FTP function, an error may occur
in the peripheral. Perform the processing suspended due to an error again after performing the FTP function.
• If an access is attempted from an FTP client during backup or restoration for the CPU module change
function using an SD memory card, an error will occur.
Reexecute it after completion of the backup or restoration.
An error will also occur if backup or restoration is performed during access from an FTP client.
In that case, reexecute it after disconnecting the FTP client.
(3) Communication processing
• If a timeout error occurs during file transfer, the TCP connection will be closed (disconnected). To restart the
file transfer, log in to the CPU module once again from the FTP client.
• For each FTP connection, the existence of the target device is checked. For details, refer to:
Page 29,
Section 3.5
• The processing time for file transfer depends on the factors such as the Ethernet line congestion, the
number of connections simultaneously used (communication processing of other connections), and the
system configuration.
• Only one FTP client can log in to a CPU module at the same time. If another FTP client attempts to connect
to a CPU module that is already in the logged-in state, the connection cannot be established, resulting in an
error.
• An attempt to execute another communication (MELSOFT connection or MC protocol) using UDP during file
transfer using FTP may cause an error such as a timeout error.
Execute it after completion of the file transfer, or use TCP.
112
CHAPTER 8 FILE TRANSFER FUNCTION (FTP)
(4) File writing
• An existing file cannot be overwritten and saved.
Either delete a file with the file delete command (delete or mdelete) or rename the file with the file rename
command (rename), and then write the file.
• Writing is not allowed to read-only files and files locked by a function other than FTP. If attempted, a write
error occurs.
• File transfer (writing a file) cannot be executed when the SD memory card is write-protected. If attempted, a
write error occurs.
• When a file is written, a temporary file (FTP_I***.TMP) is created automatically. This file is renamed to the
destination file name upon completion. However, if power failure or reset of the CPU module occurs during
the file writing, this temporary file may remain. If this occurs, delete the temporary file.
• Before writing or deleting data to the file register in the standard RAM, set the CPU module to STOP.
• When the file register in the standard RAM is set as an auto refresh device, do not perform any writing or
deletion to the corresponding drive.
• When writing a large file to an SD memory card, set the CPU module to STOP. If writing is performed in the
RUN state, a communication error may occur.
(5) File deletion
• The timing for deleting files must be determined by the user, considering the overall system including the
CPU module and programming tool.
• A file cannot be deleted if the SD memory card is write-protected. If attempted, an error occurs.
8
(6) Password for FTP
When you forgot the FTP password, set the FTP parameters again by the following steps.
Read out the parameters from the CPU module to the programming tool.
In the FTP Parameter Setting dialog box, click the "Default" button to return all the FTP parameters
to default values.

CHAPTER 9
REMOTE PASSWORD
A remote password is checked when a connection is requested for the following.
• Communication using a programming tool
• Communication using MC protocol
• File transfer (FTP)
The remote password function is one of the preventive methods against unauthorized access (e.g. destruction of data and
programs) from external devices.
However, this function cannot completely prevent unauthorized access.
Other preventive measures should be taken at users’ discretion if security of the programmable controller system needs to
be maintained against unauthorized access from external devices. We cannot be held responsibility for any problems
caused by unauthorized access.
[Examples of measures against unauthorized access]
• Install a firewall.
• Set up a personal computer as a relay station, and control the relay of communication data using an application
program.
• Set up an external device that can control access rights as a relay station.
For devices that can control access rights, please consult your network service provider or networking equipment
vendors.

Communication Using Remote Password
9
Communication is performed in the order described below when a remote password is set for the CPU module.
(1) Allowing access (unlock processing)
On a communication device such as a personal computer, unlock the remote password set for the CPU module.
If it is not unlocked, an error will occur on the connected device because the CPU module will prohibit any access.
(2) Access processing
Access the CPU module after completion of the remote password unlock processing.
(3) Prohibiting access (lock processing)
When terminating access from the personal computer, lock the remote password to prohibit an access from any
other personal computers.

Precautions
9
(1) When a remote password is set for UDP connections
• Determine a target device before data communication. (The communication target needs to be determined
because, after unlocking of the remote password, communication is available with any other devices.)
• At the end of data communication, always lock the remote password.
(If the lock processing is not performed, the unlock state is held until a timeout occurs. No communication for
10 minutes causes a timeout, and the CPU module automatically performs lock processing.)
To prevent unauthorized access using the remote password setting, it is recommended to set all connection
protocols to TCP/IP and disable direct connection with the parameter.
(2) When a TCP/IP connection is closed before lock processing
The CPU module automatically performs lock processing.
9.3 Precautions
119
9.4
Detection of Unauthorized Access and Actions
When the remote password mismatch count reaches the upper limit in unlock processing, "REMOTE PASS FAIL"
(error code: 2700) is detected.
If this occurs, unauthorized access from the outside of the system can be considered as a cause of the error.
Take the following actions as needed.
1.
Monitor the Remote password count (SD979 to SD999) and identify the connection of which
remote mismatch count has reached the upper limit in unlock processing.
2.
Stop the communication by disabling the connection as shown below.
• Select the connection in the "Ethernet diagnostics" dialog box, and force it to be deactivated.
(
GX Works2 Version 1 Operating Manual (Common))
[Diagnostics]
[Ethernet Diagnostics]
"Status of Each Connection"
• Turn on the force deactivation flag of the connection in the special register (SD1276, SD1277).
3.
Clear the "REMOTE PASS FAIL" error (error code: 2700).
The remote password count (SD979 to SD999) is also cleared.
4.
Inform your system administrator that the number of unlock processing failures exceeded the
limit, and take appropriate actions.
If the error is detected due to frequent incorrect typing by authorized users, prevent this by the following operations.
• Enable "Clear Mismatch Count when Remote Password Matches" in the "Remote Password Detail Setting" dialog
box.
• Clear the accumulated count of remote password mismatches using the special relay (SM1273).

setting No., the level of data inconsistency of both devices
may be different because the data of each device is
communicated at different timing.*2
• If the data of 32 bits (2 words) or larger is communicated,
data inconsistency might differ in units of 32 bits (2
words).*3
If the COM instruction is used, the data are written or read not only in the END processing but also during sequence
scan (at the execution of the COM instruction).
The order of the write and read is shown below.
• When "Write" is set for Communication Pattern: A word device comes first, then a bit device.
• When "Read" is set for Communication Pattern: A bit device comes first, then a word device.
• When "Transfer" is set for Communication Pattern: The host station reads the data of transmission source in
order of a bit device and a word device, and writes them to transmission destination in order of a word device and
a bit device.

• Communications at a specified execution interval (when "Fixed Interval" is set for Communication Setting) or
communications according to the ON status of Request Contact (when "On Request" is set for
Communication Setting) are ignored during retry of communication because that period is regarded as Timeout Period.
• During retry of communication, the data at the time of communication error is sent to the destination device
(for writing of device data) and the data at the time of the retry of communication is received (for reading of
device data).

Precautions
This section provides precautions for the simple PLC communication function.
(1) The timing when the settings are enabled
The settings for this function are enabled at the following timing.
• When powering off and on the CPU module
• When resetting the CPU module
Even if the values of the settings are changed and the CPU module state is changed from STOP to RUN during
execution of this function, the CPU module keeps operating with the previous settings. If the device setting of PLC
parameter is changed and the parameters are written from the "Write to PLC" window, though, an error (error
code: 4900H) is detected while the parameters are being written.
(2) Communications with other CPU modules
The communications are possible only between the CPU modules connected with Ethernet cable.
(Communications with the other CPU modules cannot be performed through the CPU module connected with
Ethernet cable.)
(3) Device data
If the COM instruction is used, not only the data in the END processing but also the data during sequence scan
(at the execution of the COM instruction) are subjected to communications. Therefore, if you want to use exact
data in the END processing for the program, conduct following operations.
[Transmission source] For the program, use a different device from the one specified for this function. At the end
of the program (just before the END), reflect the data of that device to the one specified for this function.
[Transmission destination] At the beginning of the program, reflect the data of the device specified for this function
to the other device, and use that device for the program.
(4) Incomplete data reception and timeout
Because the load of Ethernet communication becomes heavy during the simple PLC communication, if the other
communication (MELSOFT connection or MC protocol) is simultaneously performed by using protocol UDP, the
data reception of UDP may not be completed, resulting in a timeout error. Therefore, to perform other
communications during the simple PLC communication, the communication using TCP is recommended. Also
conduct following operations to reduce Ethernet communication load.
• Increase the execution interval of the simple PLC communication.
• Reduce the number of device points for communication.
(5) Communication stop
For a certain setting No., if the device is waiting for the response of the destination device due to power off of the
module, cable disconnection, or power off of the hub, communications for the other setting No. might be stopped
for 1000ms.
136
CHAPTER 10 SIMPLE PLC COMMUNICATION FUNCTION
(6) Errors at the destination device
If an error related to this function occurs, following errors might be detected at the destination device.
• When the destination device is Q/L series: Remote password mismatch error
10
• When the destination device is A series: Device number specification error
Also, an error might be detected depending on the settings of the destination device or the conditions of Ethernet
communication.

Note11.1
Communications can be performed with a device which supports the following IP addresses, which have been
specified via a CC-Link IE Field Network module, using a protocol such as the FTP or HTTP via a built-in Ethernet port
from an Ethernet device such as a personal computer.
• External devices on CC-Link IE Field Network

CHAPTER 11 IP PACKET TRANSFER FUNCTION
(1) How to use
For the settings of IP packet transfer function or how to use the function, refer to the following.
Manual for the CC-link IE Field Network module used
(2) Precautions
• The data that are communicated using the IP packet transfer function are communicated separately by the
following processing.
• Service processing by a sequence scan of a CPU module
• Link scan on CC-Link IE Field Network
The above processing causes communication speeds to be slower than Ethernet lines. Manuals for the
CC-Link IE Field Network module describe targeted communication speeds when the IP packet transfer
function is used.
• Broadcast communication and multicast communication cannot be performed with the IP packet transfer
function. Perform unicast communication (communication with one request destination specified).
• If the application time-out of the request source device occurs due to a heavy communication load on the
path that an IP packet takes, measure the response time using the ping command from the request source
device and adjust the application timeout time.
• Data size must be within 1460 bytes when the ping command is used.
• UDP provides less reliable data communications compared with TCP and thus data may be lost or arrive out
of order. Use TCP communications if a problem occurs with the UDP communications.
